PARACHUTE MUSICAL

The End of Parachute Musical

Dear Friends,

We’ve made the decision to end Parachute Musical. The past 7+ years have been some of the greatest moments of our lives, but at the same time, we all feel that this chapter has come to a close. We’re ready to try new things, go new places, see where life takes us.

We just want to thank all of you for your love, support and generosity throughout the band’s existence. PM would not have made its small yet significant mark on this planet had it not been for you. It certainly made a huge mark on our lives and we’ll never forget it, or you.

To those who participated in our Kickstarter project, we owe you special thanks. You gave us the means to make our dream album, which is stamped in time. Listen to it with pride as it’s yours as it is ours.

We also want to specifically thank our manager, Nick Hardy, who has pretty much been our 5th member since we relocated to Nashville in 2007. He worked as hard as all of us and is a behind the scenes hero.

There are no bad feelings surrounding this. In fact, you could find us bro-noodling at El Ranchero the other night over beers and chips & salsa (along with Kyle Cornett no less). We’re brothers and will continue to be.

Merch is marked down. Have at it. (Is this depressing?)

All of our records will continue to be available for streaming at parachutemusical.com.

We will play our final show Friday, March 30th at The 5 Spot in Nashville with The Winter Sounds & Baby Baby. It will be streamed live for anyone who would like to tune in. Details to come.

One more time.. thank you guys so much. We love you.

Hopeful for the future. Thankful for the past. No regrets.
Josh Foster, Tom Gilbert, Andrew Samples & Ben Jacoby

“Wake Up New” free download

Written for Ginny Billhimer as a thanks for her Kickstarter donation. Ginny has housed and fed us numerous times. She has always been a big time PM supporter/encourager. She also happens to be Ben’s mom.

We wrote and recorded most of this one night in Andrew’s room. The following day we finished bass, guitar and bgv’s.

Fun fact.. the tree on the album cover is the tree outside of our band house.

We like how this turned out and wanted to throw it out there.. hope you guys like it too.

lyrics:
sunnyside’s the place to be
under azalea trees
she’d say
came to the spring one evening
there she was singing away
we tried singing the same
give us the words to say
or let us lay down and try another day
we could stay up late
then wake up new and get along our way
then there’s the day the tree fell down
the city was blackin out that night
then 3am it came and went
and with the new light we left from sight
makin what we do feel right

PM Winter Update!

Greetings Everybody!

Hope you all are having a great Winter so far. First off,  we have a few shows coming up for you Nashville folks: 

Dec 6th - Nashville, TN@ 12th & Porter w/ Kyle Andrews + Madi Diaz  | $10/$12 (we play at 8:30 sharp! rsvp)
Dec 10th - Murfreesboro, TN @ Gilligan’s w/ Space Capone
Dec 17th - Nashville, TN -  Josh Solo @ The 5 Spot w/ Shovels and Rope + Bearcub (rsvp)

..come on out and stay warm with us! Now for a few more updates:

“Kill It Cut It Down” Video​.  On our most recent tour, we stopped by Orlando’s North Avenue Studio and filmed a live in-studio video for the title track off our latest record. It sounds and looks awesome. Mad props to all at North Ave! Stay tuned for the release of another song from this session in the near future..

Everything Is Working Out Fine In Some Town Japanese Version Limited Release. ​ About a year ago we released our 2008 full length in Japan via ThisTime Records. The packaging is different from the US version, and features bonus tracks No Comfort, Drop Me A Line, Little Did You Know. If you’re a fan of this album, then don’t miss chance to own a PM rarity! But don’t delay, we only have 9 available (we kept the other 5 they shipped for our personal stash)! Go to http://blog.parachutemusical.com/import on Tuesday, Dec 6th for info on how to pick one up.

Kill It Cut It Down Free Sampler.  ​Here’s a great way to turn your friends on to our latest album. It’s 3 songs from the record, for free, in exchange for an email (so we can tell your friends when we’re coming to play their town). Get/share the sampler here.

Google Music.  You can now find our discography at the newly launched Google Music Marketplace. If you’re an Android user, go pick up some tracks!

That’s all for now. Enjoy the holiday times and we’ll see you guys soon!
